 Rihanna certainly doesn’t have any problems with sex appeal. She shows off all of her assets for Esquire‘s latest cover after being named their Sexiest Woman Alive. Inside, she discusses being the most famous person to come out of her country, staying fit and why she has to drink liquor before every show. She also explains how she chooses the person who will receive a lap dance at her show and she reveals that she is proud of Chris Brown and the breakthrough he’s had in his career .

On Being ‘Hated’ by Her Home Country Early On in Her Career
I grew to realize that that hate was just pride. I realized that it’s a part of our culture. I’m always representing Barbados. All over the world, no matter what I was doing, no matter what I achieved, no matter what award it was, I always shouted them out. So, I started making them feel like, “This is our girl. If people in the UK could get this excited about her, what’s wrong with us?” And I never turned my back, too.

On Chris Brown
It’s incredible to see how he pulled out of it the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan. Obviously, I had some resentment toward him for a while, for obvious reasons. But I’ve put that behind me. It was taking up too much of my time. It was too much anger. I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have.
